Over the last few years Council has invested considerable time, energy and resources into
developing a number of plans across a wide range of Council’s traditional programs:
These plans were developed in close consultation with the community.
In a broad sense there has been:
-
Over 100 consultations with community organisations
- Over 60 public meetings
- 7 reference or steering committees established
- 13 workshops/forums
- 7 mail outs, including a number of special editions of the Tweed Link
- An independent telephone survey
- 13 brochures and CDs prepared
While much of the consultation was specific to particular programs (eg sporting facilities or
museums) a general Community Perceptions Survey was undertaken in February 2004 in
conjunction with Tweed Futures.
It identified the Community's highest priorities as:
- Balancing population growth
- Controlling urban development
- Protecting, conserving and maintaining the landscape
- Road upgrading and maintenance
- Employment creation
Many of the projects and actions embodied as outcomes of these plans have not been
implemented because funds have not been available.
